is accepted (depends on DG) or <strong>the</strong> access to own measurements done by Hamburg<br />

University. A memorandum of understanding is possibly needed<br />

• The BMG could take part in climate modeling<br />

• They have a co-operation with <strong>the</strong> Universities of Göttingen and Kassel in a project called<br />

STORMA (Stability of Rain<strong>for</strong>est Margin) and ano<strong>the</strong>r one with France and Australia (on<br />

operational of wea<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong>ecast) and Canada on Forest Fire monitoring<br />

• The BMG is working on <strong>the</strong> International Forest Fire Monitoring (IFFM) which runs from<br />

2000 to 2006 (KBDI-approach, only project). Anja Hoffmann a urban planning expert from<br />

<strong>German</strong>y was involved (now in Banda Aceh)<br />

• The BMG has a co-operation with <strong>the</strong> ASEAN member countries within <strong>the</strong> subcommittee<br />

<strong>for</strong> Meteorology and Geophysic (SCMG) of <strong>the</strong> ASEAN<br />

• There are four Departments Meteorology, Climatology, Geophysics and Communication &<br />

Instrumentation<br />

• They have 178 climate stations in Indonesia (mostly at airports) whereas 20 are at Borneo<br />

(mostly at coastal areas). The oldest ones are working since about 20 years.<br />

o Climate data are e.g. rainfall, temperature, wind (direction and speed), pressure<br />

(basic parameter set, every 3 hours)<br />

o Synoptic data (meteorological) are e.g. temperature, air humidity, rainfall, visibility,<br />

sunshine (full parameter set, every single hour since 1971)<br />

o Rainfall (4000 to 5000 stations in Indonesia) since 1980s. These “rain gauges”<br />

belong partly to o<strong>the</strong>r authorities like <strong>the</strong> agriculture and <strong>for</strong>estry<br />

o There are 44 stations in Indonesia regarding to air quality<br />

• The Indonesian Science Institute LIPI in Jakarta could be ano<strong>the</strong>r address <strong>for</strong> inquiries<br />

about ongoing projects. The Asian Meteorological Specialized Center in Singapore<br />

provides a summary of available data. See also www.wmo.ch<br />

• Jan received a file containing a list of wea<strong>the</strong>r stations, a map of Borneo with<br />

climate/wea<strong>the</strong>r-stations, and a presentation of BMG (Guswanto)<br />

• BMG is waiting <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> work plan (<strong>the</strong> proposal should indicate in which area <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

responsible)<br />

• Many thanks to Dr. Dodo Gunawan <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> review of <strong>the</strong> minutes<br />

10.2.5. LAPAN<br />

Minutes of <strong>the</strong> Meeting with Dr. Erna Sri Adiningsih, Dr. Orbita Roswintiarti, Dr.<br />

Thomas Djamaluddin, Alex Sudibyo, Ph.D., Mardianis and Akhmad Subekhi at LAPAN<br />

The National Institute of Aeronautics and Space<br />

Jakarta, 13 th January 2009, 14:00 to 16:30 PM<br />

• Tasks of LAPAN amongst o<strong>the</strong>rs atmospheric science (atmospheric modeling, air<br />

pollution, acid rain, GHG, and ozone monitoring, local and global climate change studies),<br />

applications of remote sensing, recommendations <strong>for</strong> national policy makers related to<br />

aerospace activities/programs, monitoring wea<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>for</strong>est fire monitoring, etc.<br />

• Used data origin from NOAA, LandSat, SPOT-2 and SPOT-4, Terra/Aqua MODIS, ALOS<br />

(mostly). It is possible to share <strong>the</strong>se data with <strong>the</strong> Hamburg group or SITF<br />

o Orbita will send a list of available images<br />

• LAPAN is interested in a co-operation especially with University of Hamburg and<br />

SITF/MGFEP. LAPAN asks if it is possible to integrate one or two researchers in <strong>the</strong> new<br />

project, as well as possibility to get master or doctor degree from collaboration studies<br />
